Abandon God

Prepare to be engulfed by the relentless darkness of AN-XUL as they unveil their debut album on November 29, 2024, through Chaos Records on CD and DIGITAL formats. Formed in May 2023, AN-XUL is a powerful new force in black metal, bringing together seasoned musicians from the extreme metal scene. With L. Plaguer (Xpus, ex-Unholy Land) on bass and vocals, M.T. (Mortuary Drape, Dark Redeemer) on drums, and A. Nacht (Xpus, Dark Redeemer) on guitars, the band delivers a sound that is both ferocious and atmospheric, evoking the raw energy of old-school black metal with a modern twist.

Their self-titled debut album, recorded at Carlo Meroni’s ADSR Decibel Studios, showcases the band’s unique approach to the genre. Combining fast and brutal moments with melancholic, rhythmic passages, AN-XUL creates an immersive soundscape that draws the listener into a world of darkness and despair. Lyrically, the band delves into themes of Satanism, the occult, and the destruction of humanity, crafting songs that are as intellectually engaging as they are sonically devastating.

AN-XUL’s debut is a must-hear for fans of Mortuary Drape, Kawir, Disharmony, and Varathorn. The band’s ability to blend aggression with atmosphere sets them apart from their peers, offering a listening experience that is both brutal and immersive. With this release, AN-XUL establishes themselves as a band to watch in the black metal underground.

The artwork for An-Xul’s debut album was crafted by none other than Mike “The Engineer of Death”, adding an extra layer of darkness and atmosphere to their already intense sound. Mike’s artwork perfectly complements the band’s sinister themes of Satanism, the occult, and humanity’s destruction. Keep an eye out for this striking visual when the album drops on November 29, 2024!
